KSTIMATES COMING IN.
Kstimates on tho number of words

are also coming in rapidly, and they
cover a wide range. One little boy
sends in his estimate all nicely writ
ten out, but this cannot be counted,
we are sorry to say, as all estimates
must bo written on the little blank ap
pearing on the fourth page of The
Tribune every morning. Let all the
boys nnd girls, and grown folks too,
get. together as many coupons as they
can, and send in a different estimate
on every coupon the more estimates
the more likelihood of striking the
winning number. Those who send In
lists of words have just as much right
to estimate as anyone else.
The rules of the contest seem to bo
clearly understood now as very few

BOYCOTT JtE-APFIRMED.
Central Labor Union Again Declares
Against Patronage of Street Cars
During the Strike.
Tins Central Labor union, at Ms
meeting yesterday afternoon In Car
penters' hall, passed resolutions re
affirming its former action In support
lug tho striking street ear employes
and in declining a boycott on the cars
of the Seranton Bnllway company,
Hugh Frayne, the national organizer
of the American Federation of Labor,
and one of the members of the com
mittee which Is assisting the strikers'
executive board In conducting the
strike, stated to a Tribune man after
the meeting that tho action of tho
Central Labor union in reaffirming its
former position in regard to the strike
meant nu indefinite continuance of the
boycott on the railway company.
"The action of the Central Labor
union," said he, "Is binding upon the
thousands and thousands of organized
worklngmen in this city and vicinity.
Just so long as the present strike con
tinues and the company falls to come
to satisfactory terms with its old em
ployes, just so long will the organized
workers of this county refuse to pa
tronize its ears, even if it takes six
months or a. year. People may talk
about Increased traffic on the street
car lines, but I want to say that as
long as union labor refuses to ride on
